I also disagree, but for different reasons. 50 years ago, 1962, our politics were not as competitive as they are today. Back in 1962, the two parties operated on a left of center consensus based on the New Deal. Democrats strove to keep the New Deal going, while Republicans just wanted the expansion of the New Deal to be scaled back just slightly. The whole basis of the New Deal was an accepted reality. The Republican Party accepted its minority status as the way things just are.
